Mike, Where are you finding the Firebug timer? I'm not seeing much of a performance boost using the for loop, but without a true timer, it's not a fair test...

Subject: Re: [jQuery] Form plugin's serialize(): performance issues > I agree with Brian about the need of a FastSerialize method. Renato, I've been benchmarking these serialize methods on a form with one select element that has 2000 options. Using the Firebug timer to capture elapsed time for the serialize call I see negligible difference in your impl and the one I posted on this thread. The current impl in the form plugin is noticeably slower. Here's the results: Current form plugin - average over 10 calls: 850ms For-loop impl - average over 10 calls: 337ms input,textarea,select impl - average over 10 calls: 379ms Granted this is just one benchmark (in FF on windows), but I think the for-loop impl holds up pretty well. Mike Geary, I haven't yet implemented your outline. I like it stylistically, but I not expecting performance improvements. Would you agree or would you expect it to be faster than Renato's impl?
